Chapter 4 — 10 Years Working as a Kitchen in the Hau Palace
The lady's restaurant has been decorated and is just waiting for the chef to come and take over. She led me into the restaurant's kitchen. The person in charge of the savory dishes, the baker, the person preparing the food, the person looking after the steaming kitchen, and the housekeepers were all present. The main chef is also a princess. She walked up to greet me: "You are Miss A Lien, right?" I was extremely surprised: "You recognize me?" She smiled openly and said: "Which noble family's kitchen in the capital doesn't know you? Before, I worked in the kitchen of the Ba palace. The lady once ate at your house's banquet, and after returning, she immediately started to prepare herself, telling us to learn from you." "Learn what?" I could hardly believe it. "Remember the dishes of your masters. Taboos, adjusting dishes, creating breakfast. The most important thing is the heat and flavor." "There are many masters in the palace, how can the kitchens of the houses be so meticulous? At most, they can only distinguish simple rules such as abstaining from spicy food and avoiding cold. Only the private kitchen can take the trouble to learn." party. Any house owner who sees it will feel comfortable." I stood in place, silent for a long time. Over the past ten years, every day we have paid attention to people's food preferences, quietly researched and improved our dishes over and over again. Large pieces of meat can easily dry out, so we immediately add hawthorn to the stew to make the meat soft and absorb the flavor. When cooking rice, we mix a little sticky rice, add a drop of rice vinegar and clear oil, the rice will be softer and more fragrant. These small thoughts are all tested and thought up by us day and night. People in the Marquis' palace just thought it was a normal duty and never took it to heart. It turns out that everyone outside who has eaten it remembers it well. The main chef sighed softly: "Fortunately, Miss, you acted quickly. Otherwise, after you left the Marquis' Palace, you would definitely be fought over by the families. How could it be our turn to stay at the restaurant?" The young lady seemed to see through my thoughts, waving her hand to tell the others to go down first. "A Lien, I can see that you have something in mind. But the most important thing right now is to stand on your feet. I have set the stage, now it's your turn to show off." Truly brave." I nodded and said yes, immediately went into working mode, and said to the lady: "Let's try the dish first, shall we?" She raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I was just waiting for this from you!" The lady called the others over again. After I gave brief instructions, everyone did their own work and started to get busy. I work at hand while observing everyone. When the main chef picked up a handful of dried chili and was about to throw it into the pan, I stopped her. She didn't ask why, just said: "Miss A Lien, please advise." "First put it in warm water, so the chili will not burn easily, nor will it be bitter." She thought and praised: "Indeed! Miss A Lien really has rich experience." My heart couldn't help but tremble slightly. Before, in the Hau palace, every time I taught them techniques. The people in the kitchen were just numb, even impatient, and followed, but still wouldn't remember next time. For ten years, I repeated the reminder every day. But people here are not like that. They have more vitality, truly love cooking, don't compete to please, just want to make a delicious dish. At this time, the kitchen of the Hau palace was engulfed in a stuffy, heavy atmosphere. 10After I left, every day the dishes were returned to the hospitals. Van Nuong remembered that the old lady had a bad stomach, so she made snow mushroom soup to nourish her stomach. She did it the old-fashioned way, adding cinnamon nectar, but it didn't work
I know there are people who are not compatible with honey. After drinking, the old lady continuously had reflux, so she immediately sent someone to question her. Van Nuong had a headache that felt like it was about to explode. It was clear that she had found the maid, so the lady asked, why did the mistake still happen? She got angry with the female chef who was currently second in command in the kitchen. "You have worked with A Lien for so many years. Even pigs have to remember these small things, why don't you remember?" "A Lien reminded us before, we just need to follow. Everything is so complicated, who can remember?" Van Nuong almost collapsed, pulling down her headscarf. "Right now I have to prepare the summer party and manage the full kitchen." You guys are so useless, there's not even one person who can help!" A little maid whispered: "Isn't it because you forced A Lien to leave? You don't have the ability, but you still like to do big things." "Say it again!" "Speaking of which, it was your fault!" While angry, Van Nuong slapped her fiercely. This caused a huge commotion. The lady squinted her eyes and rubbed her forehead, helplessly saying: "Van Nuong, you disappoint me so much!" Over the past few days, the hospital has continuously complained. Marquis and old lady asked about the lady, only then did they know that I had left. Marquis does not understand:
